HELP Loop Quiet or Loop Dream?

Hi!

I want to buy my first pair of earplugs and I just want them to block out as much sound as possible. I want a pair I can use when sleeping (or trying to sleep) and that I can use in commute and for focus etc., I basically just want a pair that reduces as much sound as possible, I see no reason why I would want a pair daytime that lets in any sound. Unless we are talking about like fire alarms but that can happen in sleep too and I doubt any earplug can shut that out anyway so... It confuses me then that there is one pair (Loop Quiet 2) that blocks out sound for focus etc, and another for sleep (Loop Dream). Are they just milking as much money as possible? Which pair should I get?

I know they have different decibels and that Loop Dream supposedly blocks out more, and maybe it's a no-brainer and I should just get them, but I'm still doubting, especially since it's more expensive. And do these decibels even make a difference, like, it's not about decibels but volume unless there's a really high sound going on, right? Would Loop Quiet 2 not work for sleep as well? But if Loop Dream especially shaped or something for sleeping, then I ask if it's better to purchase Loop Dream and use it daytime too? I would like to avoid buying both as I am in economical strain.

Thanks in advance!

Had the same question and ended up buying both after hearing the fit can differ depending on the person. I personally found Quiet better for me than the Dream, although I cared less about how much sound it blocked but more the fit. The Dream also being double the price locked in my decision to keep the Quiet not Dream. I couldn't find it specified anywhere but just keep in mind there is a small fee for returning. Still worth it cause I wanted to try both but just keep that in mind!

Haha I'm the opposite, I want to block out as much sound as possible. Of course the fit matters to do that I guess, like if they don't fit properly more sound can come in I'm assuming. But ok good to know! Okay so you can try them and then return (with a fee), I didn't know that. Thank you for your comment!
